I would like to add my comments in support of the Stormwater Regulations and I feel that they should pass in the current form.
My family has been boating and using the Bay and its tributaries since I was five years old. Our family has been using the Bay for three generations. We just returned from a trip to Alaska and it seems as if Alaska is still undeveloped and unpolluted. I feel that the Chesapeake Bay should be the same. I realize that it will never be Alaska but we should do what we can to restore the Bay and its tributaries to a "clean" state.
Some discussion points against the regulation and the counter point are listed below.
Too expensive to comply –
It will be more expensive, but costs are in the ballpark of current requirements that already exist in some localities.
